Poison

SWEET LIKE POISON Verse 1 Red on my lips, dust on the floor I've heard your footsteps here before You wear your charm like a cheap disguise I count the exits, you count the lies Green velvet throne, a crooked smile You think I'll stay here for a while But I've got thunder in my shoes And nothing left I need to prove Pre-Chorus You call me trouble Like it's something new But honey, trouble Looks good on you Chorus Sweet... Like poison. Honey on your tongue And a warning in your bones Sweet like poison I don't need your crown You can love the way I burn But you can't put me out Too sweet... Too late... La-da-da, da-da-da Taste it on your tongue La-da-da, da-da-da Now the damage is done Verse 2 You say I'm cold, I say I'm clear I keep my ghosts where I can hear They sing in rooms without a light And keep me company at night I've got a matchbook full of names A velvet coat that smells like rain You want a saint, you want a sign I pour another glass of wine Pre-Chorus You want an angel With a dirty mind But I don't come In your design Chorus Sweet... Like poison. Honey on your tongue And a warning in your bones Sweet like poison I don't need your crown You can love the way I burn But you can't put me out Too sweet... Too late... Bridge I used to sleep with all the lights on Used to leave before the dawn Used to think that being wanted Meant that I belonged Now I let the silence find me Let the shadows take their place There's a kind of strange salvation In a room without a face And I like it here. One little secret One little sin You keep on knocking... I won't let you in. Sweet... Like poison. Honey on your tongue And a warning in your bones Sweet like poison I don't need your crown You can love the way I burn But you can't put me out Sweet like poison A velvet little lie You can hold me for a moment But you can't keep me for life La-da-da, da-da-da Taste it on your tongue La-da-da, da-da-da Now the damage is done Outro Red lips... Green velvet... Black night...
